5* BTDC should be a good baseline.

Being stoopid would have been not to ask and jacked your engine, now that would be stoopid.

hmmm lc motor... probably a 22re? if thats the case, im thinking more like 12-15* timing with jumpered test connector points

[RustyToy [OP]]

naw... 22r. for sum reason i'm keeping it as stock as possible under the hood. ext for a header and dist.

[jimbo74]

oh ok... a 22r is supposed to be at 0* with the vacuum advance plugged

[kyle_22r]

unless you need to pass emissions, set it to the baseline, and advance it a little at a time until it starts to ping when you really load up the engine(the older trucks with the micro-adjustable advance said to get it going about 20mph, put it into 4th and floor it), then back it off a bit.

alright, Cool. Thanks guys!
